BR130D Mounting the Light: The BR130D is fitted with an industry-standard 5/8” light stand
connector. This is identified as the Light Stand Mount (6) in the parts diagram. Loosen the
Light Stand Connection Knob (7) before sliding the Light Stand Mount (6) onto a light stand,
grip arm, flex arm, or other type of grip item fitted with a 5/8” male spigot or stud. Tighten the
Light Stand Connection Knob (7) for a secure fit.
Attaching a Camera to the Light: Included with this kit is a camera connection bracket and
two wingnuts. The bracket is shaped like an ‘L’. Align the slot in the camera connection
bracket with the two Camera Bracket Connection Ports (9) on the back of the ringlight. Insert
both wingnuts through the slot and into the Camera Bracket Connection Ports (9). The
portion of the camera connection bracket with a rubber pad and attachment screw should be
oriented at the top of the bracket when you attach it to the light. The bracket can be mounted
in one of two directions, with the top facing into the center of the ringlight or with its top
facing away from the back of the ringlight. Use whichever direction will give your camera the
most ideal placement within the ringlight’s center. Loosen the wing nuts slightly and slide the
bracket up or down for the most ideal placement of your camera.
Powering Up: Locate the AC cable included with the kit. Check to be sure the Power Switch
(3) of the ringlight is set to the OFF position. Attach the 2-pin, figure-8 connector of the AC
cable to the AC Input Socket (4) on the Ringlight. Next connect the 2-prong household
connector on the AC cable to a standard household socket. Now press the Power Switch (3)
to the ON position (right side of switched pressed in). The light will take a second or two to
power up and illuminate.
Note: Always be sure the light is turned OFF before disconnecting the AC cable. Disconnect
the AC cable from the household socket BEFORE disconnecting it from the AC Input Socket
(4) of the ringlight.
Adjusting the Brighness: Locate the Dimmer Knob (5). Turn it clockwise to increase the
brightness or counterclockwise to decrease the brightness.
Note: If you turn the Dimmer Knob (5) quickly, it may take a second or two for the light to
change its brightness to match.
Adjusting the Light’s placement: The Tilt Control Knob (8) can be loosened slightly to
allow the rignlight to be tilted up or down. The Light Stand Connection Knob (7) can be
loosened slightly to allow the light to be rotated left or right. All other adjustments for
placement of the ringlight should be done with the particular stand or grip you have the
ringlight mounted to.
